Late last year, OTTO teamed up with OPositive,
Jim Jenkins and Wieden + Kennedy New York to help bring to life the two
of the three spots in what has become the 'SuperBowl Trilogy' for Bud
Light.
Live online today before the big game in the US on Sunday, 'Bud Knight' is the final instalment in the Jim Jenkins directed Superbowl series, and was produced locally with The OTTO Empire.
Also produced locally with OTTO was the second ad in the trilogy, 'Ye
Olde Pep Talk' which was released 2 weeks ago, and the US filmed
'Wizard' forming the first in the series.
The first 'Dilly Dilly'
spot (also directed by Jenkins) went viral as soon as it was released
last August, and spawned what has now become a series. Bud Knight is the
seventh instalment with agency Wieden+Kennedy NY, and is part of a
campaign which has penetrated popular culture, prompted viral cease and
desist letters, Christmas light displays, an
appearance in an audible,
and t-shirts. The campaign nets approximately 1.1million google searches
per month, and even includes a snapchat game "Battle of Beer Run". Also
filmed with OTTO were multiple social media executions which will be
rolling out during the big game.
Jenkins is an industry-leader,
renowned for his superb comedic and visual storytelling skills. His work
has been recognised at every major industry award show, including
Cannes Lions, D&ADs, One Show Pencils, AICP honors, and Emmy
Nominations. He has previously been ranked in Creativity's Top 10 Award
Winning Directors.
Filmed in rural New Zealand using a cast and
crew of hundreds, Jenkins found the process of working in in the
Southern Hemisphere fantastic and is keen to work locally again.
Jenkins,
David Shane, Brian Billow and the OPositive roster is exclusively
represented by The OTTO Empire in Australia and New Zealand.
